I'm looking at the play test today. My impression?

The interface is way too dark, way too green.

I don't wish to see a multicoloured dreamcoat of an interface, but surely you have more colours available than dark green. Can you not vary things a little more?

I'm also concerned by the width of the left panels. Are they not a little too wide? It takes up about 40% of the viewable surface?

Nah, please look at this again. Thank You!

Would it be difficult to set it up so you can pick out a colour yourself? I know Fallout 4 had an option to adjust their hud/flashlight and it'd be a nice bit of flavour to switch between Green, Red, feltgrau or whatever interface colour fits your chosen country.

I'm looking at the forums today. My impression?

The users are way too whiney, way too spammy.

I don't wish to see pointless and irrelevant complaint threads, but surely there is more to offer than spam. Can you not nitpick on a game that isn't even released?

I'm also concerned by the future of our generation. Are they not too spoiled? It takes up about 40% of the forums?

Nah, please suck it up. Thank you!

Well, it may seem pointless and irrelevant to you Sharp163, but it will stop me buying the game.

I looked at the game, tried really hard to make out this dark green area from that dark green area, and gave up.

And if you think that is spam, then you don't understand the meaning of spam. I'm entitled to my opinion and I posted it in the hope that Paradox may review the colour scheme of their game, and make it easier to tell one area from another.

OK ?
